They warehouse the properties they own to drive up prices, so instead of more affordable housing, the rates have skyrocketed.Cynthia Lamberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09550592770287010816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-16337288579896843122017-07-20T03:02:52.910-04:002017-07-20T03:02:52.910-04:00RUPCO offers the First Time Homebuyers course and ...RUPCO offers the First Time Homebuyers course and they are expanding their reach and picking up some of the diminished services left after the merger of Galvan and Housing Resources. <br />http://rupco.org/homeownership-need-help-with-homeownership/homeownerhip-first-time-buyers/ victorinhudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727070764427725170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-88868477715557105852017-07-19T20:24:31.408-04:002017-07-19T20:24:31.408-04:00So now which local not-for-profit organization adm...So now which local not-for-profit organization administers the First Time Home Buyer program; and which local agency administers the available grant funding to home owners who need and qualify for, emergency repairs, like roofs and heating systems?<br /><br />And does this mean that all the residents of Columbia County no longer have an opportunity to take advantage of NeighborWorks America programs and grants?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13904744235071178921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-81771027310589924802017-07-19T20:20:53.629-04:002017-07-19T20:20:53.629-04:00Agreed newcomer Agreed newcomer Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-84644351780723287382017-07-19T15:30:29.123-04:002017-07-19T15:30:29.123-04:00Housing Resources of Columbia County is now part o...Housing Resources of Columbia County is now part of the Galvan group of entities. While the various Galvan LLCs & foundations have done some worthwhile work in Hudson, they have been involved in a decades-long land grab process with nearly zero transparency. They hide behind a "mission" to serve the underserved and disadvantaged while simultaneously profiteering from poverty, evicting long-term tenants, warehousing properties and engaging in bait & switch proposals with many of their other properties. No one understands their endgame. But their disgraceful track record speaks for itself and their disingenuous public discourse is misleading and dangerous to the future of Hudson.newcomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503823136809673522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-40411779305613191632017-07-19T14:31:38.708-04:002017-07-19T14:31:38.708-04:00Perhaps Housing Resources of Columbia County, part...Perhaps Housing Resources of Columbia County, part of NeighborWorks America, can help. NeighborWorks funds local not-for-profit housing organizations that call out as their mission, helping people secure safe, secure, affordable housing.
